Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing. One public comment was received via fax which was not included in the packet or entered into the public record at the public hearing. That comment is attached to this report.
Background
Moh’s Performance Motorsport has requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow auto repair, detailing, and tuning in an I-1 (Light Industrial) zoning district. Service of passenger vehicles is a conditional use in the I-1 zoning district. The applicant’s business will focus on aftermarket performance tune-ups and fuel injector services, not general mechanical repair, however some mechanical repair may occur.
The primary concern with this type of use is parking and outside storage. The applicant is not requesting approval of outside storage of vehicles. There is storage for five vehicles within the building, and the three front spaces allocated to the business will be used for walk-in customers only. The applicant plans to have two people working at the business (including the owner), and they will use the parking behind the building.
Since no vehicles are proposed to be stored outside, no screening is needed.
The applicant has received a temporary certificate of occupancy conditioned on approval of a CUP.
This site meets all current code requirements for landscaping and setbacks.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the resolution.
